Aram Sargsyan: A certain number of freedom fighters want me to head Yerkrapah Volunteers` Union

ArmInfo. A certain number of freedom fighters want me to head Yerkrapah Volunteers' Union, Head of Republic Party, MP from Yelk faction Aram Sargsyan told journalists on June 29.

He noted that after the criminal case against Manvel Grigoryan was
instituted a certain number of compatriots started to blame
Yerkarapah Union in everything considering the organization as the
reason of many problems in the country. "I have not put my candidacy
for the Chairman of the Yerkrapah Union, but a lot of members of the
Union decided that I was right, they called and wrote to me asking to
become the head of the Union, there were even collective proposals",
Sargsyan said.

The MP also noted that as the possibility of war is real it is
obvious that the Union is a very important and valuable structure in
war conditions. "In that case any man who can hold weapon is
important. I think that the Union is one of the most mobile
structures that can leave for war immediately" Sargsyan noted. "They
say that I did not go through the war with the members of the Union
and do not know them as much as necessary, they are right, I
participated in the war until 1992. I believe that the
representatives of the Erkrapah must unite as in Vazgen Sargsyan's
times and choose a new chairman, "Sargsyan said. He noted that the
Union needs to solve numerous problems.

To note after the corrupt revelations and arrest of the head of the
Union Manvel Grigoryan, the organization decided to suspend his
chairmanship.
